Abstract
Angiomas are localized collections of blood vessels, abnormal in structure and in number, and composed of normal or malformed arteries, veins, capillaries, or a mixture of these. Within the CNS, vascular malformations are usually congenital in origin and caused by faulty embryologic development. They represent persistence of a primitive pattern of vascular pathways with anomalous structures and altered hemodynamics. Though not true neoplasms, these vascular hamartomas may grow and inflict acute or progressive damage on the brain tissue.
